SUNNYVALE, Calif., May 22, 2013 /PRNewswire/ --Can I afford to remodel? How much will my home appreciate because of the remodel? Will the project be completed on the budget I set? These are common questions from homeowners.

"Getting an estimate of the cost of your remodeling project is one of the first steps in the remodeling process," said Dan Fritschen, founder of the remodeling cost-estimating site http://www.remodelormove.com. "These initial estimates of the cost to remodel are so important for homeowners to set their expectations correctly and to empower them to be smart consumers."

Fritschen provides a list of tips to help homeowners get the remodeling cost information:

1. Create a list of must haves and nice to haves for your remodeling project.

Remodeling is all about compromisesresulting from your design and budget, so be prepared to make informed compromises by having thought through what is most important in your project and what is just nice to have. With a comprehensive list, you may also discover that some of the "nice to haves" don't add any cost while the "must haves" are being built.

2. Decide how much work if any you will do yourself.

Are you interested and capable of doing some or all of the remodeling work yourself? If so, you will need a good idea of what you are willing to doto get an estimate of the cost for what you are not going to do.

3. Is moving an option? Should you remodel?
